HOW OFTEN TO REPLACE A CAR BATTERY

Genuine OE BMW Battery Charger

You need a fully charged, properly operating battery in order to start your vehicle, so it is essential that you keep the battery free of corrosion and have it tested regularly to ensure that you don’t get stuck.  Knowing how often to replace a car battery or how often to change a car battery can save you from needless hassle. How long do car batteries last, and how often do you replace the battery in a BMW? As with car batteries in general, your BMW battery will typically have a lifespan of 4 to 5 years. However, there are several factors that can affect how long a battery will last. Here are a few of the things that can shorten your battery’s lifespan:

  • Extreme Temperatures: Hot weather causes the evaporation of liquids inside a car battery, so if you live in a more consistently hot climate your battery life will be inevitably shorter. In addition, freezing temperatures can reduce battery capacity by 22% to 50%.
  • Vibrations: If your battery’s hold-down clamps are loose, or you drive over rough roads frequently, vibrations can cause internal battery parts to break down faster.
  • Jump Starts: Leaving the lights for an extended period when the engine is off is the most common cause for a battery to lose its charge and require a jump start. Frequent jump starts can significantly shorten battery life.
  • Time: How long do car batteries last? A car battery can only go through so many charge cycles before it inevitably gives up  but proper care can help you get the most out of your car battery lifespan.
